           | Hey John, quite the picture you have here. Really great! I like the buildings/bridge in the distance to give it some depth and focus. Mark

           | Hi John, No! I was just making a poorly constructed point!
 I can tell that you are not modifying the base subject, and what you do is the same as me!!
 
 Have a nice day

           | Hi Mike!  First I would like to thank for all Your kind comments!MUCH appreciated Second I don,t know if Your thought I imported the sky in this photo or not?
 The truth is I only changed the contrast and saturated the colors slightly, otherwise this is exactly as it was taken.The only editing software I have is the software that came with My printer.
 There is minmal editing and Yes I agree with You about totally changing the original photo but It is fun to experiment sometimes!
 Again Thanks Mike!
 My best..................JOHN

           | Great stuff John. I don't really agree with importing skies etc, I am still a film man at heart although I only use digital now. Members of our club use Photoshop to it's maximum. I don't think it's photography anymore if everything is manipulated but I am just a "grumpy old man".

           | Hi Mike. Thanks for Your kind comments! I did adjust the brightness and contrast a littl and saturated the colors a bit but besides that this is the sky I saw! Thanks for asking!

           | Well done John, very dramatic and beautifully saturated colors. Impressing how you capture the dynamic range of the light in this one. But what is the blue streak in the upper left corner? It looks artificial and seems distracting to me! Regards Jörg
